Day 1,778: So Close
I feel like I'm so close to breaking through and finishing this book. It's right at my fingertips...or perhaps more aptly put: it's just across a chasm that I can see the other side of, I just haven't yet found the bridge. So frustrating, given what a roll I was on...
Day 1,777: This time for real
Okay, so during my work travels today, I realized that I went back in time somehow and mis-numbered my blog posts by 220 posts. Something as simple as accidentally switching two digits, and all this mayhem. The result: this is day number 1,777 of the daily blog...
“By Any Other Name” – Chapter 2
The events of this story take place in the Starstuff Universe some years before (or after?) those of the Starstuff Trilogy.There is only one lift that goes down past level 1,500, the marker between the lowest level of the Mids, and the beginning of the depths. The...
Day 1,777: Let’s Do This
Okay. Tomorrow is going to be a 4K day. It's happening. I'm ready. Let's do this. I'm going to get up on time, walk the pups, and slightly adjust my morning routine. Full breakfast is coming after my first writing sesh. Today...was nice. A good, calm, fun day today. I...
Day 1,776: Le Quicks
Quick one tonight because I have to sleep so I can get up and WATCH SOME FOOTBALL OH YEAH GO NINERS...we're gonna lose, but whatever, that's beside the point... I had a so so day today. Woke up early unexpectedly, which threw a wrench in my schedule somewhat, but I...
Day 1,775: What to say?
What to say? It was a rough week for me this week work-wise. I did almost nothing. Almost no progress on either of my projects, the last major rewrite of book 2, and the novella. It was both my doing, and it wasn't. Life stuff happened, but I also sat on my couch and...
Day 1,774: Four Years
The wife and I have been married for FOUR YEARS today. It's actually not all that mind-blowing, that four year number, given that we've been together for fourTEEN. But, still...it's an amazing day because I couldn't be happier. We did so much mundane, errand-running...
Day 1,773: Failure
Ugh. Today was a failure. The anxiety won. Don't get me wrong, there were many reasons for the anxiety...but I still let it win insofar as I know that I'm capable of better. One never *defeats* anxiety. It's is only ever managed to be the best of one's ability. And...
Day 1,772: Sea Legs
Don't quite have my sea legs back up underneath me yet, but I *did* get writing done. Not a ton, but some. I'm working on the novella for the next couple days because I owe it to my email list. They didn't get any last month because of email snafus, and because I...
Day 1,771: Up
Home! Ooohhhh...it's so good to be home, and what a perfect day to be back within the familiar confines than on Liz and my panda-versary. Pandaversary is now a 14-year old tradition. It's the anniversary of our first date. It's also the date that I proposed to her...
